Your are absolutely right, but it seems those victories do not have as much public appeal as the disasters...
In 2009 the Varian disaster will be commemorated with a lot of events here in Germany.
This year they told us that the biannual weekend event in Kalkriese is planned to last a whole week 2009.
Also Augustdorf (another town claimnig to be near the site of the historic battle) is already holding an event each year and is planning something special for 2009
@Carsten: If you realy want to be part of the 2009 Kalkriese Römertage then your best bet is to find a reenactment group close to you that is planing to attend that event and apply for membership.
